Ottei'bein, Hensall war vet­ eran, caused considerable discussion when he brought along his own doc­ umentary evidence to present to the pensions tribunal Tuesday last for pension. He kept a dairy in France, and it proved his best friend in court. ■Whenever’ a quetsion was put to him about his military service and its relation to his disability he turn­ ed the leaves of his little book until he found all about it. “I wanted to have it all down in black and white,” the veteran de­ clared. “So I kept my own military file.” 'Commission counsel objected be­ cause it was admitted the notes that Mr. Otterbein brought with him in­ to court were copies of the original dairy. “I wish I did 'have the original here, I could show you some funny things about the war,” Otterbein said.

He wished to be remembered and he knew .how prone we are to forget. “Dying men make wills” and this was a coven­ ant of Jesus with his disciples and with his followers down the We usually commemorate the birt day of great men and women, with Christ we celebrate both birthday and his death day. high purpose of this memorial is to remind us of Christ's death for our sins. To the disciples it was the Last Supper, but to Jesus it was more,—it was his Messianic banquet The Sacrament has a missionary meaning also; Christ spoke of blood as “shed for many.” ciples. Again he sought to warn them of impending temptation. He said that all would be disconcerted that night.

He had come into Jerusal­ em under cover of darkness and had made his way to the Upper Room to share the Passover Feast with his disciples for the last time. He knew that the end was near. Also he was ■conscious that one of his own dis­ ciples, one of the twelve, a table companion was about to betray him The treachery was made . worse by the traitor eating out of the same dish with him. Perhaps their hands touched as they dipped bread in the bowl together. To this day Arabs will not violate their standards of hospitality by harming one who has broken bread with them in the tent. When the sad news was announced, the disciples did not begin to accuse one another. Each asked, “Is it I?” Jesus did not answer the question directly, but Judas understood that the Master knew. Many attempts have been made to excuse Judas and to tone down the blood-guiltiness of Ills crime, but Jesus did not mini­ mize the offence. He said: “Woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.” Such were -the words of condemna­ tion from the gentle lips of Christ. With the strange telepathy of sor­ row, the eleven disciples felt the Master’s mood. A Hymn and a Walk, 26 Though almost under the shadow of the cross, there was no panic either in speech or action. In the use of the bread and wine, Jesus gave thanks and the sacred meal conclud­ ed with the singing of a hymn, pro­ bably a selection from Psalms 115- 118. This is the only time we read of the disciple group singing together but doubtless they often did. We wonder if Jesus sang with them on this occasion. If he did, it shows what marvellous control he had over his tense emotion. Leaving the Up­ per Room, they made their way in the darkness for two miles, or more to the mount of Olives, to the Gar­ den of Gethsemane. We can only surmise what were the thoughts of Jesus during that walk, and what were the thoughts of the eleven dis­ ciples. Outwardly all was normal •but feeling quickened by the sing­ ing, the walk in the night as Jesus went out to Gethsemane, “the gar­ den of agony, outside Jerusalem, to­ ward the mount of Olives,” I ance, promising that after he wag risen, he would go before them into Galilee, the scene of their many walks and talks. How little the dis­ ciples could understand what it all meant! Later they understood. First Judas, one of the twelve had been singled out as a traitor. Then the eleven were told that they would stumble. Now Peter, another of the twelve and one of the most out­ standing, is told that he will make a threefold denial. Blatantly he had boasted: “Although all fended, yet will not I.” sus warned Peter that night, twice, times ty all ing his readiness to die with his mas­ ter. He meant it at the time and so did the other disciples who echo­ ed Peter’s words. But Jesus knew them better than they knew them­ selves. Even his chosen followers were to desert him and was to. be left all alone, except ror God. shall be of- Calmly Je­ that very should crowbefore the cock Peter would deny him three over.

Twenty-seven years ago on the Queen’s birthday, they were married, and for a brief out­ ing came over to Clinton to observe the gr^en house stock and to purch­ ase pjlants or (flowers. On every anniversary of that day since that time they have made the same visit, sometimes driving horse and buggy sometimes by train and lately by motor. On one occassion, for some reason, the wife could not come and the husband came alone by train. Bidding him good-bye, the lady re­ marked, “Now, if you do not Come back, on the train the next time I ■will suspect that you have .met Somd one you like better than me. ” After making his purchases in; Clinton lie proceeded to the station only to find the train had pulled out for Seaforth a few minutes before and the good lady met the train only to find no husband returning. Having missed the train, he Started to walk, the 9 miles to his home town With his arms full of flowers. Luckily he was given a ride part of the way. Year after year this good couple keep green the remembrance of their wed­ ding day by making the same jour­ ney and a purchase of flowers and plant. *•*••««« HAS A BAD TANG Lots and lots of people have been disappointed at the implied threat, on the’ part of the United States, of a tariff war should the approaching business Conference in London not go exactly as she wishes. Has the recent success of the amazing Roosevelt gone to the Yankee heads? It look like it, the more’s the pity. *••••••• EVER THINK OF IT A farmer related this experience the other day. A man pre­ sented himself at his farm asking for work, the remuneration to be the laborer’s board. The farmer engaged the man for a nominal wage saying that he really could not afford help at any price but that he was willing to give the man a chance for a few days, A good meal was given and the laborer worked well for about an hour. Then there was a decided falling off in his efficiency. The same was true after the supper meal and after breakfast and so on for some time. “Now” concluded the farmer “that man is not worth his board. He’s lazy. He’s simply a good-for-nothing.’ We related this incident to one of our experienced farmers. Said the farmer, “That poor chap simply has not the feed in him. We know how it is with a horse that has been idle and that,has not been properly fed. He simnly can’t work. The fibre is not in him. More than that, that-'poor chap has not had his mind on a job for more than a year. His mind is down at the heels as well as his blood and nerve and muscle. Feed that chap, keep him at his work for a couple of ,weeks or so, and he’ll come back. Just now he simply has ho more work in him than there are diamonds in a coal cellar, THAT LONDON CONFERENCE There’s to be a big business Conference held in London, Eng­ land, to get things in the financial world moving a little more briskly. Two dangers confront this meeting. The first is that the folk .will mistake the present business activity foT the return of the days preceding 1929 of terrible memory. Well, those days simply are not here and every money till knows it, Should those who forgather in London entertain any such foolish notion they had better stay at home and hoe corn. Out Of this baseless assumption is liable to come the action tliat has cursed nearly every such Conference—-the unhallowed, self* seeking arid private-interest promoting that will strangle any ef­ fort that man can put forward, for the bettering Of conditions. As it is, plain folk are looking to the coming Conference with a good deal of heddshdklng and Hp-pdrSIng, Let’s hope that otir fears are groundless, in the meantime let’s follow the cobbler’s Whole­ some example and keep pegging away.
